Mumbai: Bollywood king Shahrukh Khan has exposed so-called secular face of world largest democracy: India, expressing his agony he is facing for being born as a Muslim.

SRK wrote an article titled Being a Khan for Outlook Turning Points magazine.

Khan said in the article many politicians asked him to go back to his native homeland: Pakistan, after 9/11 incident.

â€œI sometimes become the inadvertent object of political leaders who choose to make me a symbol of all that they think is wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India".

"There have been occasions when I have been accused of bearing allegiance to our neighboring nation (Pakistan) rather than my own country â€“ this even though I am an Indian, whose father fought for the freedom of India. Rallies have been held where leaders have exhorted me to leave and return what they refer to my â€˜originalâ€™ homeland.â€

â€œI gave my son and daughter names that could pass for generic (pan-India and pan-religious) ones â€“ Aryan and Suhana,â€Shahrukh Khan said.
â€œThe Khan has been bequeathed by me so they canâ€™t really escape it.
Khan said that he pronounced names of his children with his epiglottis when asked by Muslims and throw the Aryan as evidence of their race when non-Muslims enquired. "I imagine this will prevent my offspring from receiving unwarranted eviction orders or random fatwas in the future,â€ said Khan.

Khan said that he was pressed to make the film My Name is Khan to prove a point after being repeatedly detained in US airports because of his last name.

He said he was grilled at the airport for hours about his last name when he was going to promote the film in America for the first time.

He should name the politicians and prove it rather than just write vaguely. What rallies were held asking him to go to Pak? He is mixing up the 9/11 thing and his excitement to hire Pak cricketers for his IPL team which led to protests consisting 26/11 had just happened.

According to sources, MHA had objected to the proposal of the UAE-based Etisalat to increase its stake in its Indian arm, Etisalat DB, citing the Dubai companyâ€™s presence in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
CBI and IB allege Dawood invested large sums of money in Balwa's firm, which was used by him to finance many of his business deals.
â€œBalwa made several trips to Dubai, Dawood's hideout, in his private airplane. Investigative agencies are seeking details of these trips from the DGCAâ€, said the source.

Ali Morani, more often seen at the side of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, speaks to Balwa, while his brother Mohamed occasionally fiddles with his iPad. Their brother Karim is also an accused, but has been exempt from court appearance so far because of hospitalisation.

Karim Morani, who has been sent to Tihar jail on Monday, May 30, is believed to be a close friend of the Badshah Khan. Speculation on Shahrukh's 2G connection was fueled up when reports showed that Morani's daughter Zoa debuted in the movie, Always Kabhi Kabhi, produced by Shahrukh's Redchillies.
The top equity holders of IPL team - Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) also refused any Morani connection with his IPL team.

the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) may have detained Khan at the Newark Liberty International Airport last week because the organisers of his show in the US were not above the watermarks of controversies, including underworld links.
The promoters of the show were Farhath Hussain, a businessman from London, and his brother Altaf Hussain, a Chicago-based businessman. The brothers are self-proclaimed fans and promoters of Bollywood and together run the Lake County South Asian Entertainment Inc.
US authorities reportedly suspect the brothers on two counts: tax evasion and underworld links, according to a report in Times of India.
The report goes on to say that there are other promoters too along with Lake County South Asian Entertainment Inc and some of them are on the radar of authorities in the US, UK and India. It was this blip on the radar that forced the CBP to ask Khan to step aside for detailed questioning

This is probably why the CPB refused to let go Khan despite the representatives of the organisers of the show standing in for the super star's identity and the status that he enjoyed in India.

Added to this, Khan's baggage was missing and the new airport security says that such cases have to be further investigated.

However, it is a bit of a fraud since those who are the guardian of this secularism i.e. the politicians are the ones who have polluted it by upholding communalism to garner votes by playing to the various religious and caste sentiments.

No community, religion, caste is free from the evil influence of the politician's machination to remain in power and loot the Nation, morally, economically and socially.

SRK is a deeply vain person, and his words shouldn't matter more than a common man's, the problem is they do,
statements like these create unwanted fuss abt Indian democracy.
i don't know if SRK was ever harassed in India because he's a Muslim, just the US incidents.
i doubt u would find a better place to live in as far as religious tolerance and secularism goes,
where else in the world would u find a sikh head of the govt answering to a catholic master?
here every asslicker politician be it Nitish kumar of NDA or Shinde of UPA is ready to serve and protect minorities and brand Hindus as terrorists.
the funny thing is they still get elected by the voters of whom majority r Hindus.

The KKR consisted of many Paki players and despite many of them not performing, they were retained. He showed a strong preference for Muslim players. Picked up a Mashrafe Mortaza for Rs3Cr, who was used for 1/2 overs in that season but was reluctant to keep Ganguly. Agreed Ganguly was a shadow of his flamboyant self, but even then, he was the best player of KKR that season. His sympathies were however, not with an Indian, but with Pakistani players, for whom he even shed tears.
I really hope it was a RAW operation to insult the Paki players as was done. Well done.

Its definatly insulting to anyone being called a Paki, he is no different, but why only him there are other Khans as well.

You must be kidding right?
Amir Khan, another Khan in the industry has done things very few Hindus have cared to do for their motherland. He is a patriot, hands down.
Salman Khan on the other hand is engrossed with himself. He rarely has time for marriage, forget about time for being anti-national. His father is a well known poet. Both are good men, IMHO.
